JOINT MARKETING PROGRAM

The campaign With Love, Philadelphia XOXO® is a proven image builder and business driver. Organizations can get in on the media buy through this program, which includes strategic direction, creative support and matched investment from VISIT PHILADELPHIA.

Our Joint Marketing Program enables us to buy high-impact advertising placements in markets and mediums that our partners couldn’t afford on their own. Since 2011, 23 partners have invested nearly $1.6 million in the program and, in doing so, have secured customized With Love messages in Suburban and Penn stations; on SEPTA, NJ Transit and PATCO trains; and in popular email blasts such as The New York Times’ Great Getaways and ShermansTravel. By buying into this program, our partners show their confidence in and commitment to Philadelphia, our campaign, our call-to- action (visitphilly.com) and our marketing expertise.
